I love the super clock in have but I wonder if either beautiful widgets has a clock with the numbers that flip (like old clocks)
If not anyone knows where I can get a clock like that? I show a pic of my home screen hopefully I can get something similar but with the flipping animation, thanks

If you mean just the retro digital clock where the numbers flip (but animation is minimal, it's more the way it looks), then beautiful widgets has them. They came out primarily with HTC models when Gingerbread had just been released.
If you open the skins tab in BW superclock settings and select tab (don't know which one, but it accesses the skin/share exchange or whatever). You can tell it's the right page because each skin will state how many times it's been downloaded.
For the skin you are looking for, you may have to scroll down for a bit (and let the app load more choices) since this skin debuted maybe 18 months ago or more. But I know the basic black and a bunch of others like it are there. Look for the keyword "gingerbread" or just "ginger"...that might help.

are u talking about this type of clock, see attach?
i have beautiful widgets and i downloaded this skin to show you if this is what your looking for.
No...That's not it. Close though.. it looks like the HTC standard clock.
Here is a version of it. (I don't think any of these are the actual stock HTC clock since that was part of HTC's own desk clock/alarm, and not Beautiful Widgets.
You can tell it's the retro one because of the recessed middle which, if this was an analog clock, was attached to the "hinge" allowing the top portion to fall down revealing the next number.
This clock was actually under "featured skins" and I didn't have to scroll at all as it was on the first page.

ah i get u.
they have those kind of clocks in beautiful widgets. u would be able to download the skin called "sense v4.1" and a bunch of other versions of the clock with the 'recessed' line.
Thanks bro, I really love the look of them but I'm looking for the full animation, I would really like if it would actually flip every time it changes. Suggestions?
Sent from my SGH-I717M using xda app-developers app
If I recall the discussions correctly from my old HTC phone, beautiful widgets used to have the animations like the Sense widget, however they were ordered to remove them as it infringed on copyrights HTC had on the animation. Or something like that. So, you wont get the animations exactly like the sense widget unless you have an HTC Sense phone. I believe the Miui Roms have the flip animations on one of their clocks, maybe they have a skin to make it look like the Sense widget.
I think the animation is pretty close. It's not like BW designers were copying something original like a new design. It's a 35 year old clock.. I will have to look up that dispute. Or at least I will launch my HTC clock and see if it is any different BW.

We have seen tons and tons of modding of Sense 3.0 but honestly speaking these are more "Thematic Mods" than real Mods. Yes we have blue, red, pink and you name it and you get it colours available for lockscreen, rings, clocks, statusbar and you name it and you get it graphical items.
Most of you will agree these are skin changes and not real mods. Most android launchers these days have features we would love to see in our dearmost SENSE launcher, but as yet, we have not crossed that mod level. Back in the WM6.5 days, we had a super application called co0kies Home tab and most old folks would agree with me that this app rocked. Today that kind of sense modding is over UNLESS we flash a new ROM.
Is the sense Modding a DEAD END or is ROM development the only choice????
With this thread lets highlight and point to some of our incredible developers that we would love to have the following features and real mods in our dear sense package NATIVELY via tweak or apps.
Ability to hide status bar like in all other launchers merely by a gesture.
Ability to add delete number of homescreen pages WITHOUT ROM flashing.
Ability to lock / hide the Notificatios tab besdies the "Quick Settings" tab in the new Sense status bar.
Ability to change icons and their names as in all other launchers.
Ability to sort apps and hide apps from Ap drawer.
Ability to auto hide the Sense ARC at the bottom of the screen much like the Windows taskbar on pc.
Ability to change grid size in respect of coloumns and rows. Also very much achievable in almost all launchers.
The ability to change widget sizes as available in Go launcher and others.
3D rendering of weather on lockscreen. It would be nice to have EYE POPPING weather animations on lockscreen suing full 3d capabilities. I can do the 3D Rendering if any dev is interested in development
Please post simlar sense 3.0 mods you would like to have natively in sense 3.0 launcher and lets catch the interest of developers.
I think one highly desirable mod is workspace size, 5x5, 5x6..etc.. I've been working on it for a while with not much success..
I always seem to run into problems with recompiling Rosie. If I decompile a Rosie.apk with dependencies, then try to immediately recompile, the size is always significantly different (~1.8mb vs ~12mb). I've went ahead and made changes to some of the xml files within, but the size is always way off when it is recompiled...if it gets that far and doesn't throw an error...
It would be awesome if a more experienced dev could take this on or offer some guidance..
I think we all can agree 4x4 sucks on a qHD screen.

Also added the 3d weather animation lockscreen. I can do the rendering of 3d if any dev is interested.

Sounds good have you anything ready for testing?

I totally agre. Im getting tired of using sense and not being able to change certain aspects of it that should have been changable from the get go. Sense is gret but it needs to be greter" so im sure that some other devs here that have the awesome knowledge will soon begin to consider these things. I am willing to donate for this type of work when the project begins. This is a great convo starter and im glad someone has came to point this out.
The only thing I would like is to be able to resize widgets if is even possible.

Yess. We can see different ROMS exploring different things. But at the same time we see different launchers providing functionalities which are awesome.
SENSE 3.0 as a launcher is dying out. We have themes for sense and that is all. Launcher functionality is Sense is limited. We had an excellent program called co0kies hometab for WM 6.5 and it allowed all types of customizations. However, most people today feel easy to download an alternative launcher over sense 3.0.
Lets keep this launcher alive.

I think it is possible, it was done on older versions of Sense..The widgets size themselves according to the layout size. You can't resize them on demand tho.

Its odd how sense 3.0 has an edit button when u long press on an icon or widget but u cant always use it and that grinds my gears because i feel it being mostly pointless of it being there. I hope it changes to have better functionality instead of a ui change like in the supposedly leaked sense 3.5. What a nightmare that is. Lol

"Old folks" ? LOL Dude... the cookie home tab mod was release almost a year ago in November (for the 2.0 ver). That's not THAT long ago.. LOL
Development for Rosie is not going too far because we don't have a cookiemonster equivalent in the Android world. All real modding is done in smali and I only know of ONE guy that can do serious modding to it.. RomanBB.
Unless we get someone like cookiemonster, Sense modding will never take off.

They all say "flip", "HT3" or "sense" but do they actually flip? The beautiful widget ones don't and alot of the other ones I found don't. I gave up looking after being duped a couple dozen times.
Pretty sure that HTC has copyrighted the flipping animation, so other clocks aren't allowed to used it. Legally, at least.
Here you go, sense 4.0 clock widget but without flipping, really nice and resizeable, kinda like fancy widget, got it here in xda somewhere.
To whoever installs this make sure you start with an empty screen or you'll get the no more room message, even though the clock doesn't take up the whole screen, the widget does. Once you apply it just resize the empty areas of the widget, it installed full screen for me but I resized it 5 by 3.

That one doesn't work in TW as it's designed for landscape and keeps saying out of room even on an empty screen. Works fine in Go Launcher but there are better ones out there for sure. Thanks all the same.
Found one in in Google play and the clock flips and you can change the colour, how it flips and whatnot. Downside is $1.97. Here:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sgolovanov.GSFlipClockWallpaper&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsInNnb2xvdmFub3YuR1NGbGlwQ2xvY2tXYWxscGFwZXIiXQ..

I bought SGSIII earlier today, and I already miss features of HTC Sense. Touchwiz dialer sucks. Is there anything I can download from Play with Snese look and feel?
Also Touchwiz doesn't have a space saving 4x1 clock/weather widget. I install one from Beatiful Widgets, but it is not as good as the HTC one.
I want to ask the other HTC refugees, what are your coping strategies?
I'm coming from the OG Evo, but I never liked Sense much to begin with. I used MIUI on my Evo and plan to do the same once a MIUI build is released for this phone. Right now, I'm not having too many problems coping, but I don't plan on keeping TW any longer than necessary. My biggest issue right now for every day use is the lack of a convenient brightness slider, but that should be fixed whenever the next OTA happens.

I never liked HTC Sense, I can never get used to it. I used either MIUI or CM rom. Also came from og htc evo as well. Touchwiz is a much better experience than HTC Sense imo... but I rather use AOSP.
HTC dialer was so good I didn't even program speed dials. Just typing 2-3 numbers or letters of a name would instantly bring the right contact. And they had Facebook picture integration (at least in GB ROMs). I also miss the short haptic buzz when a call was connected.

I use go launcher ex with all the go widgets all with sense theme. As far as dialer I use go contacts with dark theme. Not exactly sense look but I find it more useful as you can swipe to go from dialer to contacts and to favorites.

I have been using go launcher as well for one sole reason; the contacts widget. I like having a widget for direct calls. I hate how when you go to contacts or logs, to press on a name and it takes you to another menu which you have to choose either call or text. Sure you can slide to direct call but I just want to press and it calls immediately. Something so simple that I wish was an option in settings.
Guys, thanks for advise, Go launcher is way better than the stock one.

Anything new takes a little time to get used to. I think, if.you stick with it, you'll find TW to give you a more simplified, "closer to stock ICS" experience. Sure, its not stock ICS and Samsung likes to add a lot of color, but IMHO Sense uses too many useless transitions and extra tabs and extra steps...run on sentence but you get the point. There are plenty of widget alternatives, I personally like Fancy Widgets. For alternative launchers, Nova is nice.

Have you tried go contacts? That comes with a dialer that works just like the sense one. Btw, touxhwiz dialer should show your fb contact pics. Not sure why yours isn't. You need to sync with the app, not the built in fb sync.

Got 3 years to get over it! LOL
I am also a convert to TW. I initially missed the Sense but after I learned the shortcuts built into TW dialer, I prefer it. Make sure you read the tips that pop up and not just close them without reading. The swipe to call or text is a pretty cool feature I think.

Sense gives me headache. Too old its colors are stressful. Touchwiz has vivid colors and not jist black and white
Hahah I thought I was the only one who preferred Sense.
I use GoLauncher for all my Launching needs on both this S3 and my original Evo.
But Sense's Contact app just blows this and every 3rd party away. I loved the auto-merge features, the integrated facebook/twitter/picassa/messaging by contact.. and it just looked nice.
The closest I've found for the contacts is an app called "ConTapps" which does the same integration with Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn, etc.. (In fact I think it does a better job than sense)... however it does not have a nice way to navigate via groups, all your contacts are one big list, and duplicates must be manually 'merged' (Dups due to facebook,twitter,etc.. my google contacts are VERY clean online in the cloud).
As for a Dialer... Right now I'm using "aTakePhone". I've used it since my old Palm Centro, then my Evo, and now my S3.. It doesn't appear that there's been much updates to handle the S3's screen resolution (small gaps on the edges of the dialer) but feature wise it has everything you'd want in a dialer, including a nice scrolling 'quick bar' on the dialpad menu. You can even customize the searching parameters so it won't search till you've placed X # of letters, searching within company names, etc...

Hey guys. I'm the type of person who loves his phone to be like a second home. My friend had an HTC Desire HD and it impressed me so much i actually wanted to but it off him, even though its about 2x worse in specs than my current phone, but it has the most beautiful user interface i've ever seen.
I'm talking about the HTC DHD weather unlock animation.
I first noticed it when i asked the friend to make a call and upon unlocking the phone the screen froze over and it started to snow, it was pretty amazed by how good it looked, and how accurate it was since it was really snowing outside.
Here it is. ( not my video, but exactly the same thing)
HTC Desire HD Weather Animation Snow - YouTube
I think this is one of the best looking widgets/launchers i've ever seen, and i have a question, not as much as a request.
I do know that this is "exclusive" to sense, most likely 3.0, but would it be theoretically possible to rip out the launcher/weather widget you saw in the video?
I am NOT asking for any warez, just some instructions, i feel like i'm dedicated enough to work with this for a few days just to get it.
I'm currently using a SONY Xperia GO , and i would like to port the needed things to it from sense (3.0?) to it. How do i do it?
Maybe someone knows a similar app that does this and looks like it.. But so far i've downloaded 20+ widgets/apps from the play store and didn't find anything ever NEAR as beautiful, or as functional. Most of the apps/widgets require you to click on the widget to see a weather animation, thats not what i want.
TL;DR : How do i port the sense (3.0?) launcher/weather widget? Is there an app that is as functional and looks similar?
Thanks in advance.
It's VERY difficult to port proprietary UI stuff like Sense based things to other devices. So much of Sense is not just based on the apps, but also on the framework-res.apk, systemUI,apk, and another one - htc.resources or something of the sort. Been a bit since I was that deep into HTC stuff. There just aren't going to be any easy or elegant solutions to this. As for a half assed work around, Go Locker claims to have animated weather stuff on the lockscreen in it's free version. Couldn't hurt to check it out? They have TONs of themes, but I find the Go Locker and Launchers to be a bit laggier than some. HTC has started adding some of their apps into the Play Store, including Blinkfeed, but something tells me that there won't really be a way for them to add the lockscreen as a standalone option.
